@danboldman PMR is a horrible condition. People with this issue may look great, but feel like s*&%!! I actually had a "bit of a meltdown" with one PC doctor who said, "If you don't start exercising, you aren't going to make it much longer!" Ignorant comment, as I had been begging for her help to see a Rheumatologist for many months. Yep! I also feel like PMR is trying to destroy an otherwise beautiful life. Some days, with the pain, a positive attitude only goes so far. I thank God for my wonderful, understanding and supportive husband.

@prettypatti76 I also had an ignorant primary care doctor tell me I had mild inflammation and could send me to PT. Lol, I couldn’t even move and he was going to send me to PT!
He couldn’t read the labs that said I had severe inflammation and the two labs that indicated a probable PMR diagnosis. Thankfully I didn’t mess around and made an appointment with a rheumatologist. I knew what I what I had since my mother had it too. I guess that was a blessing in disguise.
